You Need An Expert to Tell You The Difference

This is a suite of six princess-cut EXPENSIVE AND RARE pink diamonds. Right? WRONG! What is actually depicted is a vivid suite of pink laboratory-created cubic zirconia worth just a few dollars, not to be confused with zircons or diamonds, which are natural gemstones. This is one reason why I tell people NEVER to buy any gemstone/s from ANYONE until they submit the stone to a gemological examination to confirm identity. There are compulsive gamblers here who will try to sell anything in the casinos that looks expensive just to get money to feed their addiction. Caveat Emptor! That is Latin for "buyer beware," in case you didn't study the language for 3 years at Foothill High School in Tustin, California like I did.
